Description DJ: Come On SlowPoke! You're keeping us behind everyone else!
L: Okay... *huff* Just.... Hah... G-Give me a minute will you?
DJ: Are you seriously that tired?
L: W-We've been running.... *Huff* For.... hah... 3 hours......
DJ: Suck it up! We've got to get moving! Plus you needed some fresh air! Come on! *Trots away* We're almost done anyways...
L: H-Hey! Wait! *Gasps quickly and starts running after her*

So I came back from a run with my mother. I'm not sure what it is about today, but today I felt like I was dying! Which doesn't normally happen xD
Also, I did a background! I was experimenting with it a bit and thought it would be nice to start incorperating backgrounds!
I'm still new to the whole thing so.... Yeah.
How did I do? Does it look okay?
If you have any tips on that could help me get better at this that would be great! >.<

Well, I really like the ponies, the heavy outline.
The overall BG looks fine, but I'd add some more detail to it, especially to the leaves of the trees.
In my drawings... well, I spend 3 times longer time drawing the background than the main character/s. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist... no, not maybe. I am one.

The slight coloring is great! Love it

Keep up the drawing!


CHEERS!

Nothing wrong with trying to perfect something. Personally I know the feeling xD
It really sucks.
But thank you. I'll be sure to keep what you said in mind when I attempt another background

The background liiks.... amazing...
Seriously, I can see your style having a big imprint not only on pones but on background as well.
I like how you did the multile plan thing. And the trees look bizzare, just as one would expect xD

If you really want me to point out something to change, I'd say it's the house. I mean, it looks good, but it could
me a bit improved by making the roof stuck out a bit more. So that it doesn't look like it makes one piece
with the rest of construction.

Other than that, I have on idea what more to change. Loptr looks fantastic when exhausted, and your
cherfull trott is something one don't see in your gallery often ^^

Seriously.... the best picture you made so far!

The house was something I was a bit iffy about when I was working on it. Honestly I get what you're saying and I'll try and work on it. Might try and figure out a city/town look if I can.

Also Loptr just hates exercise. Dumbass sits in a house all day downing bottles sleeping. He needed a bit of fresh air. Plus the idea was just too funny to resis.

PonyCleverBlue In reply to DJM30wM1x [2015-04-28 12:54:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I knwo about Loptr's lifestyle xD
Why would he need all that money if not for servants to bring him anything, right?
If he wasn't dying of alcohol poisoning once a month, he'd be a big fat blob on the couch with
remote in a hoof xD

And the house is something you can allways work on ^^ I'm preety sure you'll get a way to draw it preety
awesomely in no time ^^

Alrighty then. I'll have to figure out something for the house then

I personally allways take pictures of in-show houses and try to redraw them.
that's why I almost never draw any houses xD

And yeah... couch potato marshmallow. Or just couch marshmallow.
We need a picture of Loptr being a fatass and spending all his money on snacks.

Hmmm.... I think I might just use the type of houses the MLP uses. Save me the trouble a bit

I could see him sitting on the couch watching the TV and pigging out on a bag of chips. With a bunch of wrappers flung everywhere and nobody has bothered to pick them up.

The Lazy Loptr.
Now that I think about it... It would probably be in an alternate universe. He get no mare or stallion in his bed and he's just a horrible fat slob that no one likes.

Or Loptr just orders some deep smoked meat after his favourite pizzeria gets closed for sanepid purposes.

DJM30wM1x In reply to PonyCleverBlue [2015-04-28 13:47:45 +0000 UTC]

That works too. He'd be ordering sausage or something to slice up and order the maids to put on the homemade pizza.

I'm debating how hard it would be to get Barrel to fall in love with a fat slob like that XD

Think about it!
What does Barrel "love" about Loptr right now?
Then try and incorporate it to a fatter and disgusting version of him.

o.0 Is it even possible?!

It looks really awesome! You did great for your background and the whole piece! ^u^ I also like the way you made the trees!

This is a tip, but not for this drawing. Well... I mean you could do it if you want to. XD

One thing I find helpful with the grass is to first shade it lightly and then blend the area in. Then after that make small strokes with your pencil all around to make the grass. Or in different places to add a little something instead of strokes being everywhere. XD

That and after you get finished with the grass you could lightly erase a few parts to make it look as if wind was blowing the grass! ^w^

Interesting!
I'm not sure why something like that has never come to my mind before. I've seen plenty of artists do it before but it completely slipped my mind when I drew this. I might actually go back and fix it if I can. Might turn out nice! 
Thanks.
